Yes possibly Siobhanor but if the "yes" crowd are to believed these abortions are happening anyway all the yes vote means is their under medical supervision. Tho I do think abortions will multiple after this will infact lighting the load in the maternity hospitals

If this or any other government were committed to making contraception freely available they didn't have to wait til now! This could easily have been arranged at any time over the last fifty years.It is the people who have led this change. Government have merely followed and had their arm twisted by Europe.

No we are all going to have the abortions we voted for, even the men! We have the right to have abortions now and bloody sure we are going to exercise that right. Are ye all ready now, get drunk, get pregnant, get an abortion. I am post menopausal and one daughter is gay and the other happily single so far in life but hey never mind that, we are all aiming to have our hard earned abortions by the end of the year!!!

My husband and I are so moved by the yes vote. We grew up in a country of sexual repression, abuse and hypocracy. In our lifetime we have seen the law change in relation to contraception, divorce, homesexuality, Marriage Equality, gender identity and finally abortion. We are not celebrating the fact that abortion is needed we are celebrating that when it is needed it can provided safely and legally here. We are celebrating that having lived for decades in a country that did not reflect our liberal values, now at last, our values are reflected in the country of our birth.

I don't feel like champagne corks popping would be right,it's a sad occasion in a way although I am glad that the step has been taken.more steps to go though. Whilst lots of people actively wanted to get married three years ago, who really wants to have an abortion,just the option.
